Without official confirmation, everything indicates that Apple will stop using Intel’s 5G modems on its iPhone. The company was using them for the 2020 phone generation, but there has been a change of plans. For this reason, the company would no longer use them on its devices. They seem to be doing so in the hope that another supplier will provide a better solution.
Apple could stop using Intel’s 5G modems
It appears that it has already informed Intel of its decision to phase out its modems in its next generation of phones. An important setback for the supplier company.
Apple won’t buy any more Intel modems
After receiving the news that it will stop buying and using its modems, Intel has stopped producing them completely. Because Apple was the company they were destined for, significantly altering the company’s plans. At the moment, the only thing that seems to be known is that the quality was not what Apple expected and that’s why they decided to stop using these modems.
Although not much more is known so far. There are already rumors that other firms like MediaTek are already in contact with Cupertino’s company. And they seem to be the best strained to become the suppliers of the company run by Tim Cook.
We’ll have to see what happens, but with this decision, Apple is becoming more independent of Intel. As they have been reducing the number of components of the firm that use on their iPhone significantly in recent months.
